Management strategies to reduce trade-offs between ecological and economic resilience
Management strategies to reduce trade-offs between ecological and economic resilience
Forests not only provide habitats, but also economic resources, which requires a balance between ecological and economic resilience in management. Carola Paul and Kai Husmann from the University of Göttingen are developing indicators to assess the economic resilience of forests and are investigating how management decisions affect economic stability and recovery after disturbances. Simulation-based analyses will be used to identify economic-ecological trade-offs and develop resilient management strategies as guidelines for sustainable forest management.
